Washington day 3, Taking a ferry ride

Great Grandma Phipps needed to visit with her mother & usually took the ferry to get there. We all decided to go so we could see Great Great Grandma & take a ferry ride too.

One of the Ferry boats.

Exploring the boat.

Saying goodbye to Seattle as we sailed away.

It got a little breezy as we picked up speed.

My tour guide poiting out where she thinks we will be going.

Eli pretending to be a mountain.

My little reader stocking up on info about the area.

What part of snickers, m&m's, skittles etc. is actually healthy?

After we had a quick visit with GGGma Morsing we went to explore a nearby nursery while GGma Phipps visited a while longer. They had a lot of fish & water features that were fun for the kids to explore.

The kids are feeding the fish with Great Grandpa Phipps.

It's just so pretty!

We took ferry back home again. Hello Seattle!

My budding photgrapher took this photo of me.

Eli holding the Space Needle in his hand.

We decided to go to the park down the street once we got home & take advantage of the swings.

Adrienne pretending to be grumpy. Pretty convincing huh?

They found this neat thing that spins you around like crazy. I tried it & almost couldn't walk afterwards.

Adrienne LOVED it!

Going for a nature hike

We were going to hike the paved trail but the kids wanted to go on the dirt tracks. Off we went & we found all sorts of pretty & interesting things.

A passion flower.

The kids had fun watching the butterflies & caterpillars.

We hiked the dry river bed.

We found some butterflies apparently eating a snail. Do they do that?

Yea! We found the water.

A happy end to our trail.

Frisbee

The weather was so nice on Sunday that we decided to go to the park. As an added bonus Daddy was still home & Nana was here for a visit. We all decided to go out & play frisbee. (& yes I did put down the camera to toss it a few times myself.)


Adrienne in action!


Eli hamming it up for the camera.


Nana being athletic. She said that any "athletic" photos of her had to go on the blog as proof!


Eli would toss to Daddy & if he missed Adrienne was his fetcher & then she would throw it back to Daddy.


He caught this one with his knee!


Adrienne was hanging upside down on the bars & her poncho fell right over her face. It was so funny when she landed right side up & had this beautiful "poncho hair".
